Starrett 54902 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock Type C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54902 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 0.125 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 24 inches long. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, this flat stock provides consistent dimensional accuracy with tightly controlled tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inches on thickness and squareness, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches on width, and plus 0.625 inches on length. At 3.4 pounds, it is suited for fabrication, repair, and custom fitting work where mild steel stock is required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians rely on this grade for its weldability and ease of machining.

Type C1010 low carbon steel flat stock is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general mechanical repair. The 24-inch length and 4-inch width make it practical for custom brackets, straps, reinforcing plates, and mounting components. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever mild steel flat bar stock is needed in standard dimensions.
